On April 3, Rounder Records will release Alison Krauss’ A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection, an album that encompasses her diverse career as a master vocalist, instrumentalist, collaborator and producer.

A Hundred Miles or More: A Collection is comprised of 16 tracks, highlighting Krauss’ career outside of her traditional releases with long time band Union Station. The album features Krauss’ collaboration with John Waite on the single, “Missing You,” which also appears on Waite’s recent Rounder release Downtown....Journey of a Heart. A Hundred Miles or More also features Krauss’ contributions to film soundtracks including the Oscar nominated songs, “The Scarlet Tide” and “You Will Be My Ain True Love,” written for the motion picture Cold Mountain and “Down to the River to Pray” from the film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Known for her collaborations, Krauss also includes several duets in the collection such as the 2003 hit with Brad Paisley, “Whiskey Lullaby,” and her duet with James Taylor for the tribute album Livin’, Lovin’, Losin’: Songs of The Louvin Brothers, “How’s the World Treating You.” The collection debuts five new songs—“You’re Just a Country Boy,” “Jacob’s Dream,” “Simple Love,” “Lay Down Beside Me,” and “Away Down the River” all of which feature Krauss as a producer.

Since 1987, Krauss has released eleven albums on Rounder—four solo, six with Union Station and one with The Cox Family — including her acclaimed 2005 Grammy winning release Lonely Runs Both Ways and the double-platinum selling albums Live and Now That I’ve Found You: A Collection. To date she has earned more Grammy awards — 20 in all — than any other female artist. She has also received multiple Country Music Association Awards and International Bluegrass Music Awards among countless other honors. This spring she will share the stage with bluegrass legend Tony Rice, performing together material from Tony’s 35-year career.

Executive Vice President of Rounder Records, Sheri Sands says, “It was well worth the wait—we are thrilled about her new album. Alison has shown us once again how truly multi-faceted she is as an artist.”
